The Samsung Exynos team’s official Twitter account has confirmed that the new Exynos 5 Octa chip not only supports LTE, but all 20 bands of it. So what gives with the Galaxy S4? The phone, as we all know by now, will be released in two variants: the GT-I9500 and the GT-I9505. The latter will deploy a Snapdragon 600 SoC.

The assumption was that Samsung had to use the Snapdragon 600 to provide LTE support for regions like the US and UK, leading many to believe that the Exynos 5 Octa simply did not support the wireless standard. It would not be unprecedented, as the Exynos 4 lacked the prerequisite hardware to take advantage of the next-gen 4G standard, leading to a similar dual-model release for the Galaxy S3.

Samsung’s decision could actually have more to do with supply and demand, with Samsung allotting the easy-to-obtain Snapdragon chip for regions that should see high demand as the company slowly ramps up Exynos production. That still doesn’t quite explain the discrepancy in 4G support. It seems like more than a coincidence. Perhaps the Exynos 5 Octa still needs a bit of tweaking before it lives up to the proper standards of power consumption and performance when it comes to LTE.

Whether it’s your car or your smartphone, chances are if you love something, you want to baby it. If you want to keep your phone’s display feeling like new (or rejuvenate an old one), this glass wax is the perfect solution.

Smartphones these days are only getting more slippery, but if you’ve finally had enough — you need to see these ultra thin sandstone cases for the Google Pixel (and a variety of other smartphones). At $8, you may want to pick up two.

For Samsung’s failed Galaxy Note 7, its downfall could have been that it was simply too thin. A group of engineers at Instrumental examined the Galaxy Note 7 to figure out why, exactly, they kept exploding.

A new phone is the perfect gift for a techie who needs a powerful companion on the go. You’ll be pleased to learn the term “powerful” doesn’t have to be synonymous with a price tag of $600 or more these days.
